Looking good!

I've used those switches before. If you use solid-core wire it's actually pretty easy to create little "loops" that will slide right on the pins and it's easy to solder them then.

I'm surprised you wouldn't use the precision power supply with this model.

I usually put the wires in the preampboard before I solder the eyelets. Are the wires hidden under the board? :?:

This should be a fun amp when it is done! I hope you can build this one as nice as Moss does. I had one in earlier this week. Really nice work. 8)

Have fun!

Unless I'm mistaken, (which happens a lot) the caps on the HRM board are from SKD electronics.

http://www.stkelectronics.com/site/polyester-m37.php

Does anyone have a source for these? I've called the factory 2 times with no response from the sales department. I get the impression they want to sell big quality.

If they aren't the SKD's which are they?????

Anyone one use them in other locations????

Thanks

I finally got through to STK regarding their caps.

I was told that they pretty much make everyhting to order, i.e. don't like small orders. I couldn't pin them down to a minimun quality but their minumun order is $250.00. No distributers!!!

For those that have used them, any magic???

Polyester, polypropylene?

Somebody say something!!!!
